Instructions

Position thighs prone on upper padding of 45-degree hyper-extension
apparatus. Hook heels on platform lip or under padded brace.
Place barbell on back of shoulders and grasp bar to sides.

Execution

Lower body by bending hips until fully flexed. Raise or extend
hips until torso is parallel to legs. Repeat.

Comments

Position pad high enough to evenly distribute body weight
on thigh but not so high that range of motion is limited; abdomen
should not press on top side of pad when upper body is lowered.
Maintain barbell's position on back of shoulders when upper body
is lowered. Do not lower weight beyond mild stretch. Full range
of motion will vary from person to person. Also known as Barbell
45-degree Hip Extension. Also see Barbell
Hyperextension and Barbell
Back Extension.
